An environmentalist wants to find out the fraction of oil tankers that have spills each month. Step 1 of 2: Suppose a sample of 211 tankers is drawn. Of these ships, 146 did not have spills. Using the data, estimate the proportion of oil tankers that had spills. Enter your answer as a fraction or a decimal number rounded to three decimal places.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The estimate of the proportion of oil tankers that had spills is 65/211 = 0.308.

Step-by-step explanation:

Proportion of oil tankers that had spills.

Number of tankers with spills divided by the total number of tankers.

In this question:

211 tankers

146 did not have spills, so 211 - 146 = 65 had

Proportion:

[tex]p = \frac{65}{211} = 0.308[/tex]

The estimate of the proportion of oil tankers that had spills is 65/211 = 0.308.

A recording studio charges musicians an initial fee of $100 to record an album. Studio time cost an additional $1 per minute. Write and graph an equation that models the total cost of recording an album over one afternoon.

Answers

Answer:

$340

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Inititial fee= $100

cost per minute= $1

Let the total charge for x minutes by y

Hence the expression for the total charges after x minutes is

y= 100+1x

y=100+x

But an after is from 12pm - 4pm= 4 hours

x=4*60

x=240minutes

y=100+240

y=$340

8.

Find the lengths of the bases and the height of the trapezoid. Each square on the grid is 2 units.

A car journey is in two stages Stage1 the car travels 110 miles in 2 hours Stage 2 the car travels 44 miles at the same average speed as stage 1 Work out the time for stage 2 Give you answer in minutes.

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  48 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

The average speed for stage 1 is ...

  speed = distance/time = (110 mi)/(2 h) = 55 mi/h

Then the time for stage 2 is ...

  time = distance/speed = (44 mi)/(55 mi/h) = (4/5 h)(60 min/h) = 48 min

The time for stage 2 is 48 minutes.

Answer:

Solution :-

We know that

SpeeD = Distance/Time

Speed = 110/2

Speed = 55 mi/hr

For, 2

Speed = 44/55

Speed = 4/5

Speed = 48 min

А Campus athletics is interested in the proportion of registered students living on campus who play basketball recreationally during the semester. They take a random sample of 198 registered students listed as living in campus housing and ask each whether or not they do so. A 95% confidence interval is correctly calculated from this data as (0.12, 0.18). Which of the following is the correct interpretation of this confidence interval ?
a. None of these are correct.
b. We are 95% confident that the proportion of the 198 sampled students that actually play basketball is between 0.12 and 0.18
c. We are 95% confident that, among the population of students that play basketball recreationally, the proportion who live on campus is between 0.12 and 0.18.
d. The sample proportion of on-campus students that play basketball will be between 0.12 and 0.18 in 95% of samples of size 198

Answers

Answer:

c. We are 95% confident that, among the population of students that play basketball recreationally, the proportion who live on campus is between 0.12 and 0.18.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the question, it is mentioned that there is 95% confidence interval and it is calculated (0.12,0.18)

So the correct interpretation is that they are 95% confident that the students who play basketballs the proportion should lies between 0.12 and 0.12

So, the option C is correct

The rest of the options are wrong

Answer:

r=7

Step-by-step explanation:

74000=28000(1+r/12)^12(14)

divide 74000 by 28000, and cancel out 28000.

1.00580=1+r/12

r = 6.96198

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it is a square pyramid, the total surface area of the pyramid is the area of its square base plus the area of its 4 triangular faces.

[tex]\boxed{area \: of \: triangle = \frac{1}{2} \times base \times height }[/tex]

Area of a triangular face

= ½ ×12 ×10

= 60 cm²

[tex]\boxed{area \: of \: square = side \times side}[/tex]

Base area of pyramid

= 144 cm²

∴ Surface area of pyramid

= 4(60) +144

= 240 +144

Hello your question has some missing information below is the complete question

[tex]a_{n} = a_{n-2} + a_{n-2} + a_{n-1}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Red car and Blue car take up 2 spaces each

Green cars take up 1 space

lets determine the number of ways of filling up the parking spaces

i) First lets assume the last space is filled by Green car then there will be [tex]n^{th}[/tex] space occupied hence there will be ( n - 1 ) spaces left to be filled in [tex]a_{n-1}[/tex] ways

ii) lets assume the last space is filled by either a Red car or a Blue car then there will be [tex]n^{th} + ( n -1 )^{st}[/tex]  parking space occupied hence there will be

( n - 2 ) spaces left to be filled in [tex]a_{n-2}[/tex] ways

Hence A closed formula for [tex]a_{n}[/tex]

[tex]a_{n} = a_{n-2} + a_{n-2} + a_{n-1}[/tex]

where : a1 = 1 way ,  a2 = 3 ways
